God and Government
A recent University of Missouri study found religion continues to impact voter decision. Though church attendance seems to be declining, there appears to be an increase in faith driven voting. Why do religious beliefs still inspire voters? And do government officials use this to their advantage?

Redefining Sainthood
On May 1st, 2011, Pope John Paul II was beatified just six years after his death, bringing him one step closer to becoming a Catholic saint. The relative speed of this process has caused some to bring into question the late pontiff’s past shortcomings. What should be considered when making someone a saint?

We discuss the future of Haiti and the role religion plays in these difficult times.
